Normally you have to compile curb with a universal binary of libcurl, so I suspect that architecture incompatibility has something to do with why the build is failing. I get the following when I try to install with macgem:

It looks like this C extension is using an element of the MRI C API that we do not support yet. I am guessing it's poking at the RHASH structure, which we won't probably support any time soon.

I believe you reported this problem on the tracker, it should be fixed in tonight's nightly build :)

Let us know if you have problems again.
